I am happy that I purchased the black for our decor... but after the trouble of putting it all together and got it up outside, once opened we noticed a hole in the canapy :( Needless to say, I am not a happy camper. Love the style etc but there was a slight breeze and the canapy/top pole kept swaying like it was going to snap off. Hmmm I think it is just the way it is made but overall I do like the way it looks and we will just need to remember to keep it closed until we use.
